De Kock&#8217;s composed fifty laid the foundation for Lucknow&#8217;s imposing total of 199-8, with Krunal Pandya&#8217;s unbeaten 43 off 22 balls providing a late flourish. Pooran&#8217;s explosive knock of 42 off just 21 deliveries further bolstered Lucknow&#8217;s total, matching the venue&#8217;s best total set by Lucknow against Delhi Capitals last season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mayank Yadav receives the Player of the Match award for his fiery match winning spell ?<br><br>Scorecard \u25b6\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HvctlP1bZb\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/HvctlP1bZb<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TATAIPL?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#TATAIPL<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LSGvPBKS?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#LSGvPBKS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/SlXGyu9h2O\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/SlXGyu9h2O<\/a><\/p>&mdash; IndianPremierLeague (@IPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IPL\/status\/1774138546351157594?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">March 30, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response, Punjab Kings started strongly with a commanding 102-run opening stand between skipper Shikhar Dhawan and Jonny Bairstow.
